About this property

Entire place

You'll have the entire home to yourself and will only share it with other guests in your party.

Stay with us in Bardstown, named one of "the most beautiful small towns in America." Our cottage is located just three blocks from downtown restaurants, shops, family activities and nightlife. Located on the Bourbon Trail, you are steps from Barton's Distillery and a short drive from several other popular distilleries. Churchill Downs, Keeneland, Mammoth Cave National Park and other popular attractions are within an hours drive making this cottage the perfect base for exploring Kentucky.

This fully renovated home sleeps up to 6 people in two queen beds and a full size pullout sofa. The first floor features the master bedroom, living room, kitchen, office area and bathroom with a walk in shower and washer and dryer. The second floor is devoted to the second bedroom and a private sitting area. Local cable TV and wifi (for streaming from your accounts) are provided. You can enjoy the outdoors on our front porch or deck with a dining area and grill. Enjoy your morning coffee or a nightcap from our drink station.
Our home is located on a busy street. This causes some street noise which is a trade-off for the great location right in town. We do provide sound machines in the bedrooms to help with this noise.

Our customers tell us they can't get enough of this vacation home's great location. During your stay, you're just a quick walk from Basilica of St Joseph Proto-Cathedral. The vacation home offers a kitchen and a patio.

Air-conditioned home with kitchen, washing machine, and patio

Cute and Comfortable

We enjoyed our short visit to visit family and explore Bardstown. The house is very comfortable and we easily found everything we needed during our stay. It was a short walk to Third Street and all the restaurants and shops there, and a quick drive to the distilleries and other places we wanted to go. The host provided clear communication and great advice to back into the driveway. The street can be busy when driving out but we didn’t have issues with noise in the house. This a was a great base for our trip.

Lovely Bardstown Stay

The communication with the host was top notch both via the app and in printed instructions posted on the fridge. The home was a great place for a base for visiting the distilleries. Yet the two best experiences were in the list of recommendations from the hosts: the Oscar Getz museum was very interesting and well worth the free price of admission; And plan on obtaining reservations for the Rickhouse because both the ambience and quality of food are excellent. Another recommendation for drinks and buying alcohol is the Evergreen. A lovely bar located in a liquor store for one stop drinking and buying. As for the house it is located on main road so the traffic can be heard going by but it quiets down at night and we didn’t have any trouble sleeping. It had everything we needed for our stay. Thanks Nicole

The property was very clean! It is also very close to the distilleries. It had all the amenities we needed. The only issue was the one bathroom and the lack of a hallway resulting in going through the bedroom if the bathroom was being used. Needless to sssy we figured it out and would stay there afsin

Fun on the Bourbon Trail

My husband and I stayed in the Bardstown Cottage after dropping our youngest daughter off at college. We were needing a distraction and had the best time on the Bourbon Trail! The location of the Cottage was perfect to many distilleries. The town has a ton of charm too. The cottage itself was comfortable, clean, and well stocked. We didn't cook much, but the kitchen was stocked if we wanted to. The property was clean and was just as listed. I would highly recommend staying here.

Great Location, Great Communication

This is an older home right in the heart of Bardstown. The place is so close to distilleries you can smell the sweet mash outside in the yard! It was a perfect base for our short adventure. When we arrived there was an issue with the HVAC. I messaged the owner through the app and they were at the house in minutes. This was on the evening before a holiday. They got everything up and running. They also offered to move us to another property if there were any more problems (there were not any more problems). The owner messaged us a few times during the stay to check on the HVAC. She also sent us a list of some local events we might like to do while in town - very helpful. This is a great place for 2 to 4 people to stay for a Bardstown trip. Highly recommend. And I would gladly stay at any property from this owner again!

What a great town

We were in town for the PGA Championship. We loved Bardstown. The town is very beautiful and such a well kept historic town. We look forward to going back in the future. There are many great restaurants and distilleries in the area. The location was very convenient to all the small towns where the distilleries were located. The house we rented had great accommodations. It was very clean and well kept. Keurig for making coffee with good variety of K-cups. We would recommend staying here again. The owner did a great job responding to messages.

More than bourbon

My wife did Geneology. We did the Civil War museum and women’s museum. Good restaurants. Bernheim Forest was very interesting and good hiking. Great restaurants from Drugstore counter to historic places. Lots of distilleries but a good museum covers a lot for those not into $$$ for bourbon. Very nice home.
